T1. I don't know what tourney but he was on a downslope in a fairway bunker had trees in front of him the wind was blowin and he had to hit a hook off a cut lie in the fairway bunker with the ball like 2 feet below his feet. He hit it onto the green to like 10 feet and made the putt for birdie.

Sandy Lyle's 7 iron out of the fairway bunker on 18 to win at Augusta...
Curtis Strange's bunker shot on 18 to win back to back U. S. Opens...
Tiger's 6-iron to a foot to win his first PGA Tour playoff against Tom Lehman...
more to come...

The second one was at the PGA i think... or maybe the US open, one of the two...i am forgetting the name of the course... but it was a great shot!

Could be...I just remember watching him hit that shot and thinking that it was a terrible decision that he was making and then, "zing", he pulls it off...and it turns out to not be such a bad decsion after all...
Tiger has a knack for making second guessers look bad REALLY often...

My favourite is the 3-iron from the fairway bunker at the pga championship with tiger. flat out brilliant.
or maybe the 4-iron during the 03 buick when he hit from long rough, under trees, made it cimb and stop on a dime over a bunker to a pin that was cut right past it.
or his 6-iron in the cdn open. those 3 my top 3 that i have witnessed. others r all second.

no canadian open was a hook lie in fairway bunker over water to a right pin location. trees werent really in play. tha was pga at medinah i believe. his feet were up against lip of bunker, cold, wind blowing he needed a high cut over trees.

2. Seve, 3 wood from fairway bunker on 18th hole of 1983 Ryder Cup singles against Zoeller. Maybe Tiger could do it now, but who else could have pulled it off?
3. Lanny Wadkins. Wedge on same hole. Not a tough shot, but under the pressure at the time? Amazing.
Honourable mentions to Tom Watson (82 US Open at Pebble), A couple of the Tiger shots already raved about, and Seve's 72nd hole chip in the 88 Open at Lytham. As an aside, as a kid of about 15 or so, I stood right behind Nick Faldo on the 18th at Wentworth in the World Matchplay final against Ian Woosnam. I think it was 1989. He hit a 1 iron second, from the middle of the fairway and from about 230 or so. He holed the eagle putt to win. The strike and flight of that 1 iron were so perfect, I've never seen another shot hit as well before or since. I still remember it now. Probably no-one remembers it on here, unless there are some UK residents in their early 30s from South-East England....

I think the shot your thinking about was at the 2002 PGA at Hazeltine.
